Study Says Men Intentionally Lose To Their Wives

A new study in the NY Post reveals the majority of husbands allow their wives to win everything from arguments to physical competitions. At the same time wives are less determined to beat their spouses than beating others. The female participants were first required to compete against male strangers while having their brain activity monitored by electroencephalogram (EEG). Then, the women were asked to complete another visual cue task, this time playing against their husbands or boyfriends.The results reveal that women showed higher levels of concentration while competing against strangers than they did against their partners. The study shows that intimate relationship weakens both men's and women’s competitiveness. But in the male it's taken to the point where most see themselves as losers if they actually win against the spouse. They almost universally beat the strangers but unanimously lost to their spouses in an array of competitions like free throws, to memory games. Researchers say that men mostly want to avoid conflict with their spouse to the point that they'll surrender points they know they're correct on and "lose" an argument. The age old happy wife happy life saying is true and built into our DNA
